Welcome! I'm Lesley. I post videos on how to do stuff and my creative experiments. My videos are mostly about self-compassion, using what you have, and the nuances of daily life.

Book Review • Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents
Hi everyone! I'm back today with another book review. This month, I've been making my way through the work chapter of Authenblissity Reset and I decided to focus on inner work (rather than paid work or creative work).
I've been learning a lot about myself and a big part of my inner work right now involves making my way through a lot of stuff that's come up around my relationship with my father. This has been slowly building for years but I discovered this series of books on Emotionally Immature People (EIP) when I was going through my relationships chapter a couple of months ago.
It took a while for my hold to come up at the library but I finally read the first book in the series. It was so enlightening and validating that I bought a copy. I highly recommend this book, regardless of whether you think you have emotionally immature parents. I think it's very helpful for navigating relationships in general (e.g., being true to yourself and setting boundaries) and it can also help increase the reader's own emotional maturity.
If you've read any of the books in this series, I'd love to hear your thoughts. The first two are my favourite but I've also read/flipped through the last two.

What I learned during my play reset • Authenblissity Reset in a bullet journal
Переглядів 8928 днів тому
This chapter was so enjoyable! It really helped that I let go of the pressure I was feeling to have fun when I started this chapter. Once I let that go, I stopped judging the things I like to do in the realm of play, and I naturally gravitated towards the things that bring me joy. Since this book provides a framework for tuning in to your inner compass, what you learn about yourself could be ve...
I'm changing the way I do puzzles

Hi everyone! I'm working through my play chapter this month so it seemed like synchronicity that I've rediscovered my love for puzzles. I started thinking about why I say I love puzzles so much but I've hardly done any in my adult life. I had some big realizations - the main one being that I had some massive puzzles on my bucket list that created a bottleneck. I felt like I "should" do those pu...

Play can be fun and exhilarating, but it can also be low key and relaxing. What do you enjoy doing in your free time? What's fun for you? How does play show up in your life? I've done this play reset ...
What I learned during my sleep reset • Authenblissity Reset in a bullet journal

Sleep is a mysterious topic. Overall, I think I have a pretty good relationship with sleep, so at first, this chapter didn't provide me with any fresh insights. But as I was finishing up the last exercise, an aha moment finally arrived. Because of that, I went from being rather disappointed in this chapter to loving this chapter. Since this book provides a framework for tuning in to your inner ...
How I'm using sleep as productive time
Переглядів 1112 місяці тому
When I was doing my sleep reset this month, I started thinking about how neat it was that we get a chance to have a mini reset every night when we go to sleep. I also started thinking about the huge swath of 7-8 hours when I'm asleep overnight and how I really have no (conscious) idea of what's going on. I was curious about how I could be more intentional about this time and how I could try to ...
Some things are beyond our control • Resetting my relationship with sleep

It's time for the next chapter in my authenblissity reset: sleep. In this chapter, it's especially important to separate the things we can control from the things we can't control. For example, we can control what time we go to bed, but we can't control what time we fall asleep. As we complete the exercises, we'll try to follow our curiosity to decide what experiments to try, knowing that the o...

The topic of relationships was hard for me (always has been, probably always will be), but I learned so much about myself. I'm noticing gradual changes within myself each time I do this reset.

Since my bo...

Hi everyone! I'm back today with my very first book review - Tuesdays with Morrie. This book was published in 1997. It's a very popular book but it wasn't on my radar until my friend recommended it to me. I recorded this video a few months ago but didn't get a chance to post it. I figured now would be a good time, since I'm working through the relationships chapter of my book. This book focuses...

Yeah umm hand sanitizer works better guys!!! Alcohol didn’t do shit
Literally my go-to dyi off the shoulder video. Thx ❤
Ran out of Isopropyl, so I used white spirit, hard work, but done the job on my 30 odd year old Practica Sport binoculars. Damned stuff is like tar!!
thank you for this detailed review
I start with alcohol but when it does not work well then you need acetone so use Nail polish remover
This video could be 1 minute and 13 seconds shorter. Skip to 1:13
Thank you!! I was afraid to mess up my shirt before I watched this vid, and it worked perfectly! :)
Great review! I’ve been curious about this book for a long time. This may seem like an odd channel recommendation, but your idea of the true self as the inner compass reminded me of Shelise from Cults to Consciousness here on UA-cam, who always talks about finding and/or regaining individual sovereignty and listening to our inner voice/inner knowing. I think you might really resonate with some of her interviews! Thanks for this video!
That sounds fascinating, I'll definitely check out the Cults to Consciousness UA-cam channel. Thank you so much for your comment and for the channel recommendation!
Thanks for reviewing this book. I really relate to your childhood experience. Both of my parents were this way and I think that I could really benefit from reading this book. It is actually something that I still deal with daily since my Mother lives with us as well.
I found the book so helpful. I initially read the e-book version and practically highlighted the entire book. The book was very validating in terms of the way I've been feeling lately. I'm still making my way through the 2nd book I read (I'm taking a break to read some fiction as it's been a while), but I'm looking forward to picking it back up again. Please let me know your thoughts if you end up reading it. ❤
My T-shirt came out so good! Thank you for this video 😊❤
Me omg I didn't realize this was 12 years old lol
Thanks for sharing!! Also helps that your voice is so soothing!
I used baking soda, wet it and a toothbrush. It did the job for my outdoor speakers.
what you say actually makes sense , full time job being a downer then you need an upper which is your soending left n right
This really worked im soo happy about how my t shirt turned out thank youu ❤😭
Tried to follow this and just ruined a shirt I liked 😔 wish I had just winged it
Girl, thank you so much for this video. I bought a customized shirt, but I didn't really like the way it looked, fitting wise and with the tutorial, the shirt looks much better than before, thx❤
THANK YOU SO MUCH. I had this tshirt with the worst neckline and I did this and it turned out phenomenal
Entering reading deprivation tomorrow but I extended it to media such as reddit, youtube, email, video games etc. I am drawn to the artist prayer activity.
Good luck with your reading deprivation week! I'd love to hear how it goes.
The uptalk is insane. Video could have been 10 seconds.
I watched so many videos on TickTick and TODOist, I have to say this was the best one and probably sold me to just go with TickTick. Thanks for such a detailed video and showing your actual setup to get a real idea. very helpful. Also, great audio quality, the video was quite soothing to watch/listen to because of that as well :)
Finally i found a good video on how to use this app thank you so much , so many shitty video on here god what happened to OG youtube
trying to do this with my mcr shirt before emo nite lol
When I choose the daily repetition of the task, why does it automatically duplicate the task on the second day? For example, I have a math project in the form of a task on this day. I run a pomodoro on this task on this day. The next day, I do the same process, which is running a pomodoro like the day before, and the bad thing that happens is that the application calculates the pomodoro on the duplicate task and not the task that I did yesterday, so storing the pomodoro is on more than one task that was automatically copied and not the main task. I want the topic to be like a routine of habits, the habit is repeated daily with the same habit and not a duplicate habit. I hope you respond to me
Gasoline (petrol in UK) works much better, but for safety use it outside.
Some ( ? ) sticky gooes respond to a solvent used in the printing trade .... Lemon or Orange oil Terpene , obtained from the skins of these fruits .. is both non toxic and smells NICE ! .... being a thin oil , it penetrates the GOO , without readily evaporating , thus more effective ( tried - n - tested ) .... DAVE™🛑
Tired of looking for off shoulder t-shirts that I decided to search for diy instead and so glad I found you 🙏🏽👏🏻🙌🏼👍🤩🫶 thank you ☺️

As a mom with three kids that are constantly running I do have a personal and work calendar. I color code my personal calendar by who the event is for. Orange is oldest son, green is youngest son, blue is hubby, flamingo is daughter, purple is me. I also have to add many calendars by URL based on the different apps their sports team use and their school calendar which saves SOO much time as it eliminates the need for adding all of those practices and games with varying times! I change the color of those calendars to match the kid they belong to as well! I put when my bills are due and then in parentheses if they are on autopay or not. I use gray for these. I still use my paper calendar as well since my kids like to glance at it. I use flair pens and use the exact same color coding for that!
One of the best introduction to the app
I clean homes part time and sals suds is my go to! Try it in your laundry!
Your playfulness for this recap is reflected in your sparkly top!! I have a question for you - I'm going to be in Toronto for a few days in August. Do you have recommendations for places to eat? Nothing fancy. Things that I wouldn't find in a guidebook.
Ahhh thank you! I love my new sequined top and I want to wear it as much as I can. So exciting to hear that you'll be in Toronto! It really depends on what you like as there is so much variety. A couple of sit-down restaurants I've been enjoying are Carisma (Italian) and Little Sister (Dutch-Indonesian). Mizzica is great if you're craving gelato and the line moves pretty quickly. There are also a lot of new food halls for a more casual and relaxed meal. Wellington Market and Waterworks Food Hall are both fun to check out but can get really busy. There's also Table Food Hall, which caters more to the business lunch crowd, so it's very quiet after hours (which I prefer 😆). If there's any specific type of food or vibe you're looking for, let me know and I can try to suggest something!
I've recently realized that full-time work isn't for me and that I'd likely thrive more with 2 part-time jobs- that's how I found your channel! It'd allow me to focus on my varied interests and would help me be less attached/have less expectations on me- I too am a "severe" introvert and being around the same people in the same environment for too long just isn't good for my mental health. I realized I'm also ok with possibly making less money. I love living a frugal/low-consumption life. Thank you for sharing your thoughts! A lot of what you said really resonates with me and it's helpful to hear someone else come to the same realizations + be further in that shift than I am. 💗
Thank you so much for your comment! I can relate to so much of what you wrote. It's been over five years since I left full-time work and it's been amazing to have so much time freedom. Sometimes I still overthink things on the money side (I worry I won't have enough) but it's clear I have enough. I think I just need to move through the anxiety. I too love living a frugal/low-consumption lifestyle! It feels really good to use what I have and not be constantly buying new things. Wishing you well in your journey! ❤
Worked PERFECTLY for me!! Love my new cut t-shirt ❤
hi!! sorry for being very late😢
Please never take this video down! I'm so excited to try it out!
hello. I recently discovered ticktick in Korea and have been watching the video over and over again. The emoticon you use is different from mine. Where did you download it from? unicorn emoticon is so cute. I want to use it too, please let me know ㅠㅡㅠ
That emoticon was included in my app so I didn't download it separately. I love the unicorn too so I hope you find it!
@@AuthenblissityMain There is a unicorn. The picture style is different. Is this an iMac? Anyway, I understand that you didn't download it.
I’m in a similar situation to the one you were in where I have a 1500, a 3000 and a 5000 piece puzzle and I just feel a bit overwhelmed cause I don’t really have the time or space to focus on them. Perhaps I will try a 500 puzzle to get my motivation going! Thank you for the tips! ❤
Please let me know if you end up trying a 500-piece puzzle! I find them to be a lot of fun. After recording this video, I found one more (very old) 1000-piece puzzle in my locker and it was a challenging one. It took me 9.5 hours over 3 days to complete, which was way longer than I expected. It was a bit overwhelming but I finally finished it this morning. 😅
I’m so glad you suggested a practice shirt. I ended having to go out to the dollar store in the middle of this tutorial to purchase a new and better pair of scissors for $1.35. Great instructions- ready to do this on the actual top I wanna wear tonight.😊
I used 99% alcohol and microfiber cloths with my laptop keyboard and it's perfect
Looking for recipes to use in my professional cleaning business. It's a bit easier when you don't have to impress or get paid to clean, but I'm nervous to only use this in clients' homes. It's worth a try for our health
great job
Just picked up the Pluto puzzle! I usually start a puzzle from the center but will be challenging myself to build the border first. 🙂
Ahhhh let me know if you like the Pluto puzzle! I found it to be pretty fun and might do it again this weekend. It seems like my brain needs to have the border in place first. I'd be so curious to know what it's like for you to start with the border!
@@AuthenblissityMain I enjoyed this puzzle, it felt like 8 mini puzzles in one. For the first time my last piece wasn’t a border piece! 😌 I spent less time sorting the pieces when I did the border first.
Worked so well! Ty!
We should do a puzzle trade!!! :)) EDIT: Also, since you're low on space, I would recommend a puzzle saver/roll up mat. They are awesome for when you are limited on space and don't want to permanently lose space to a puzzle. You're also less likely to lose the puzzle compared to balancing it on a board and moving that around.
Oooh thank you SO much for the recommendation! I'll look into picking up a puzzle saver or roll-up mat. I used to have one (that I made myself) when I was in high school but it's long gone. And that would be so fun to do a puzzle trade one day!!
What a fun video to watch! 😊❤
Thank you so much! It was a fun one for me to record. 😃
This is my favorite natural cleaner for all the things!
This is super inspiring. I'm in my Week 2 of the Artist's Way. You did such a great job laying everything out. Looks like it was a lot of fun creatively
Thank you so much! The process was a lot of fun and it really helped with my creativity. I hope you’re enjoying your journey through the book!
Do you find that it leaves a cast? I’ve just started using the normal soap and I struggle to understand fully how to use it. I find that it leaves a cast on my hands and the things I clean. What am I doing wrong?
I haven’t noticed it leaving a cast. Maybe you are using too much soap?
Also the castile soap doesn't work as well with hard water which is why Dr. Bronner initially formulated Sal Suds - works well with any type of water as well as vinegar.
Castile soap is a soap and will leave a film. Sal suds is a detergent and will rinse clean, and will usually be ok to not rinse if you use the prescribed dilution.
I love how a simple T-Shirt is now so cute and flirty!! Thank you!!
